0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.800

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, in school, when you're a senior, whether it's

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 2>high school or college, you see the finish line, you

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 2>see the end, and you get senior items. You have

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>a tendency to just all right, all right, I see

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the finish line. Let's just get there as fast as

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>we can. And well kind of feels like the Dodgers

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>have all star itis. The last couple of days is tonight.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>For the second straight night, they give up nine runs

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 2>to the Arizona Diamondbacks on their way to a nine

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 2>too defeat to the Snakes, as they have been outscored

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>eighteen to five in the last two nights to an

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Diamondbacks team that is fighting for a wild card spot.

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even gonna say they're pushing the Dodgers in

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the division, because nobody is. With the Dodgers up twelve

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half games in the NL West, thirteen and

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>a half games up on the San Diego Padres, the

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are running away with the division and they're gonna

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>get right in the second half of the season. But

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.320
<v Speaker 2>these final days before the All Star Break kind of

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>feel like senior itis for the Dodgers as they get

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>ready to go their separate ways and enjoy a couple

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>of days off. You got a contingent of Dodger players

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and coaches going to Philadelphia for the All Star Game,

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>including Justin Robleski, yes, who was named as part of

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>the National League pitching staff today.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 3>More on that coming up in just a couple of minutes.

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>But it kind of feels like the Dodgers just playing

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>their way through these last couple of games, almost like

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 2>spring training games, at the end of the exhibition season

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 2>and before the start of the regular season. Out they're

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>going out and they're having quality at bats, there's no

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>doubt about it. And the guys are going out and

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 2>trying to get guys out. I don't doubt that. But

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the level of play, the level intensity is clearly different

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>than it has been previous three and a half months

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 2>of this season. And this All Star break, this and

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>break in general, couldn't come at a better time than

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 2>it is coming up in this next couple of days

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 2>for this Dodgers team. Bill Plunkett as to a couple

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>of times to tay Oscar David vas say, let it

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>off talking to tay Oscar about this team and what

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>has gone on the last five games. And you know

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>they're not gonna say it, but it kind of just

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>feels like it. And our eyes and ears don't don't

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>deceive us. This is a different looking Dodgers team the

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 2>last couple days. Defensively, another air tonight, that's now seven

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>airs in the last four games, struggling to push across runs.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the Dodgers had a chance in the six

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to get back into the game. You know, a couple

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>of hard hit balls don't go their way and an

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>RBI single from Pajes and Mookie Betts RBI single. They

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>put two runs up in the six, But you come

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>back in a six to two game and you got

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>three innings to play with, and all of a sudden,

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a seven to two game after the seventh, and

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>in two more home runs in the eighth from the Diamondbacks,

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, it's a nine to two

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 2>game that you're having to play into in the final

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 2>couple of innings. It's it's hard to play catch up

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>constantly when you're playing from behind, like the Dodgers have

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of nights, and with the lead they

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 2>have in the division, Hey, it's just human nature. You're

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>running away with the division. You've dominated virtually everybody you've

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>played in series this year. In fact, the Dodgers tomorrow

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Needa wins so they avoid their first time getting swept

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>in a three game series. And with that being said,

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>it's the team that has played really good and has

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 2>shown why they are the best team in baseball and

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>will be looking to get that three peat this year

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>come October. But right here, right now, the final couple of.

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Days before the All Star break. You know, it just

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of feels like All Star itis. Eight six six, nine,

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 3>eight seven two, five seventy is the number again.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers fall to the Diamondbacks by a final of

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.880
<v Speaker 2>nine to two, and another day in which the Dodgers

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>defense didn't have a clean game.

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Dodger pitchers got touched up a little bit.

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's not just you know, giving up a home

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>run here or a base hit there, and you know,

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>tip your cap to the other team. You can't walk guys.

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 2>That was an issue last night, the free passes. Yamamoto

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 2>had four walks, albeit one of them was an intentional walk.

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I understand that, but then two more walks given up

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>by Land and nak He had six walks in the

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 2>game tonight by Dodgers pitchers Yamamoto and Knack. That's just,

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, nine runs, nine hits, six walks. You know,

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it's it's not a good recipe when you're doing that

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and constantly pitching out of the stretch.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 3>And then that sixth inning, you know, it was.

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 2>A leadoff walk on four pitches and then two batters

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 2>later morenos Is singling, and you kind of felt like

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>all right, what's gonna happen here? Fly ball out? You

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>had two to one, two out? Can Yamamoto get out

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>of it?

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 3>And he couldn't. He just couldn't. Tim Tawa the.

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>RBI double made it a three to nothing game, and

0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>then James mccannon with the huge three run home run

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 2>off of Yamamoto. It turned out to be a thirty

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 2>one pitch inning for Yamamoto, whose pitchcount was already high

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>by the way throughout the first five innings. He'd only

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>get up the one run and was keeping the Dodgers

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>in the game, and him and Fought were going back

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and forth in a great pitchers duel, but that pitch

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>count was getting kind of high. Meanwhile, Fought had what

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>forty nine pitches going into the fifth inning. He was

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.479
<v Speaker 2>very efficient, including a five pitch first inning against the

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 2>top three Dodger hitters in this lineup. So you hope

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 2>you can get through tomorrow with the win if you're

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.239
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. And then let's get to the All Star break.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Let's get off our feet, let's get some rest, let's

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>decompress here for a few days. The Dodger All Stars

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>will go to Philadelphia and be certainly welcome there and

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>get a lot of attention over a couple of days

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.440

<v Speaker 2>including the home run derby, which is on Netflix.

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 3>By the way, how about that interesting? It's gonna be

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 3>on Netflix.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.200

<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers will start the second half of the season

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in New York on Friday against the Yankees. And it's

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>a tough stretch to start off the second half. They're

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna be on the East Coast for a while. Yankees

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Phillies Mets the first three series for the Dodgers after

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the All Star break eight six, six, nine, seven, five

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Medello Modello

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>the mark of a fighter Ken in Newport Beach. Why

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 2>not start us off on this Saturday night? You got

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>All Star itis, Ken.

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 5>I may have first.

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 6>I want to start with a positive's a congratulations a

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 6>Dino uh and uh you know his sons two sons

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 6>now the country after that's really cool, Just a couple

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 6>of little points that maybe some people left out. Let's

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 6>start with something simple, like.

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 5>Loft it. I can't believe I lost everything. Why oh

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 5>four for forties and take me back, that's a batting

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 5>average of one hundred. Munsey's three for eighteen that's one

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 5>sixty six, Freelan two for fifteen that's one thirty thugeand

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 5>and last five games had nine errors, nine errors thirty

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.400
<v Speaker 5>five big left on base had a two fourteen batting average.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 5>The problem is that Sheenan is the highest era starting

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 5>pitcher at four ninety one, and like you mentioned, they

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 5>then go into the Yankees, Philadelphia and the Mets, so

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 5>maybe not the best time to kind of at least,

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, be off as far as they are. But

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna give that, you know, all star itis that

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 5>you brought up as a reason sitting has been really

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 5>bad and the air has been really bad.

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's and that's not characteristic of a Dave Roberts

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 2>team the last twelve thirteen years. Here defense getting away

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>from them. I mean you mentioned that the airs that

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>are piling up over the last five games, another one

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 2>tonight for Max Munsey, the only one of the game.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>But still the defense is something they've always been able

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>to hang their hat on. Really good pitching, and you

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.160

<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. It's just a different looking Dodgers

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>team and it's almost like they've kind of hit the

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 2>cruise control here the final couple of days and tonight

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 2>nine more runs given up. Last night, nine runs given

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 2>up in a bullpen game. They've been outscored eighteen to

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 2>five against the Arizona Diamond the last two nights and

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow Image Sheen on the mound, and I don't want

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 2>to call it a must win game for Image Shean,

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>but he needs to turn a corner here. And his

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>last start against the Padres, he did pick up the victory,

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>so that is.

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Good, but that was his first win in almost two months.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 2>He has got to go in the break with some

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>confidence and with some zeros up on the scoreboard, and

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 2>that to me is something I'm gonna be looking out

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and any we win or lose, imit Shean going

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 2>into the break with a positive result for the second

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.439
<v Speaker 2>half of the season starting And I say that because

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>knocking on the door to coming back er a couple

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 2>of Dodgers starters. Now one's knocking a little bit harder

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 2>than the other one. Tyler Glass now is throwing fastballs

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 2>in bullpen sessions and that's it. So he's, you know,

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>not really knocking too hard on the door to come back,

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>but he is knocking Blake Snell through today a couple

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>of updowns and his SIM game and if he checks

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 2>out healthy, which he appears he's going to be. He

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>talked to David Vassa on Dodgers on Deck and he

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>sounded like he was chomping at the bit to get back.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 2>He is really really looking forward to get back out

0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 2>on the mound. It looks like he's gonna go on

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a minor league rehab assignment and as soon as next weekend,

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be about four or five starts for

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell, So you're looking at about a month until

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 2>he comes back. Now, next week's the All Star breaks,

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 2>so three weeks after that. So for immit, sheian got

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 2>to start collecting some starts here that show that you

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>belong in this rotation when Blake Snell comes back, and

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 2>when even further down the road, Tyler Glass now eventually

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>gets healthy because you're gonna have Eric lower in this

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>rotation mix. And quite frankly, he's pitched better than Imma

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Sheen has over the last month. And you look at

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Rookie Sasaki's up down starts. I mean, one start it's

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>really good, and then a couple of starts it's just not.

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 3>And he needs to get better and more consistent.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 2>So when you're gonna get two starters back to help

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>out this rotation, that means the level of everybody else's

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 2>play has got to be elevator. Else you're gonna find

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 2>yourself not in this Dodgers rotation anymore. When everybody's healthy

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.559
<v Speaker 2>and good to go. Eight six six ninety seven two

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is our telephone number again tomorrow with the

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>final game before the All Star break, mentioned to Tyler

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 2>glassan out throwing fastballs in a bullpen session.

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 1>That was it.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell through two innings of a sim game today

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.959
<v Speaker 2>faced live hitters, and.

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 3>Next up a minor league rehab assignment next.

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Weekend, where that'll be at we'll find out together, but

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 2>also bigger than that. Edwin Diaz, Dodger closer in his

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>first rehab appearance tonight out in Ontario for the Tower Buzzers.

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>His first pitch of the game ninety six mile an

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 2>hour fastball. Then he was touched ninety eight miles an hour.

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 2>He went one inning, struck out, two, allowed a hit,

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 2>but then a caught stealing into the inning. He threw

0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>eleven pitches. All right, Sorry, first outing guy's coming off

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 2>elbow surgery, had those loose bodies removed like Trek Skouoble.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 2>He's a couple weeks ahead of Blake Snell, who had

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.959
<v Speaker 2>the same procedure done to his elbow. Fastball average around

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 2>ninety six one inning, eleven pitches, one hit.

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Two strikeouts.

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.520
<v Speaker 2>You check a box if you're Edwin Diaz, and the

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>next time out you're looking to do the same. He's

0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>not looking to build up. He's not looking to get

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 2>to seventy five pitches. He's looking to pitch maybe in

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.079
<v Speaker 2>consecutive days. He's looking to pitch two out of three

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>every three days as a closer for the Dodgers. So

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>he looks like he's getting really close to returning, and

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I gotta believe it's gonna be after the All Star

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 2>break at some point, maybe on the road trip. Maybe

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>they bring him back for the first homestand after the

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 2>All Star break, but he is certainly getting close. And

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be a much new arm to this Dodgers' bullpen.

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And again it's going to cause a roster spot and

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 2>all these spots that have been taken by guys, and

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, some of these pitchers have done really good

0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.439
<v Speaker 2>jobs and have earned spots on this team. You know what,

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.080
<v Speaker 2>not enough chairs at the at the dance and the

0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 2>game of musical chairs here. When these guys start getting healthy,

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 2>and that's when it turns into performance. And how long

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 2>is the leash gonna be for a Sasaki? How long

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.679
<v Speaker 2>is the least gonna be for an Emmitt Shean? If

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.079
<v Speaker 2>they continue to have up and down performances in this

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>starting rotation eight six, six, nine, eighty seven two five seven,

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 2>we'll take a time out. We'll come back. We'll get

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.720

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts as well as the Dodgers fall to the

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks tonight wasn't pretty. A five run sixth inning give

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>it up by Yoshi Noble Yamamoto landing net comes in,

0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 2>gives up three runs in three innings of work, including

0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>back to back home runs to Aeronatola McCann in the eighth.

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.480

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk continues on this Saturday nights as the Dodgers

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 2>fall to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a second straight night.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Nine to two is the final.

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 2>They got thumped by the Diamondbacks last night nine to

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 2>three in a bullpen game. Tonight's more of the same.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Three more home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks, two of

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 2>which came from James McCann. Tim Tawa, who had eight

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>RBIs coming into the series against the Dodgers, had another

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>RBI double and an RBI ground out. He's got what

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 2>now six RBIs In the last two nights, he has

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 2>brought his average from blow one blow two hundred to

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>now almost over two twenty on this season. In two games,

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 2>he is feasting off the Dodgers and patting his stats

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 2>against Dodger pitching. Brandon Fok gets the win. He's now

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>three and one. Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the loss. He falls

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to nine and six. As the Dodgers lead in the

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>NL West. Uh oh, don't look now, it's twelve and

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.440

<v Speaker 2>and Miguel is waiting no more. Ralph, are you doing tonight?

0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 7>Yes, sir, thanks for taking my call. I want to

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 7>go down a list of things. Please bear with me.

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 7>David Vessey said that Lawa can be traded, you know,

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 7>as trade bait.

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 5>No way.

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 7>Shean and Sazaki are not major league starting pitchers, definitely not.

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 7>Glassnows out three months with backspasms. Usually three weeks with

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 7>back spasms, not three months. Gavin Stone, he had surgery.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 7>He was out a year and a half. I think

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 7>he pitched one inning or two innings in spring training.

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.480
<v Speaker 7>He's down four months. The Milwaukee Brewers are a better

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 7>team than the Dodgers. The Dodgers need to win the

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 7>buy three rounds of the playoffs, not the division, in

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 7>the Western Division. It's to buy against the Brewers. They

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 7>didn't get to buy last year. They didn't have to buy.

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 7>They didn't have the best record against Toronto in the

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 7>World Series. I know they went back to back World championships,

0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 7>but the Dodgers are not a better team than the Ruis.

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 7>And I can see the Dodges choking down the stretch.

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.200
<v Speaker 7>August is September. I don't care who's on the team.

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 7>You know, with this pitching staff, the relief pitches are

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 7>like they give up runs every time they're in the game.

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 7>Climb Stewart, you know, you know, even Scott can melt down.

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 7>Sazaki can't be in the bullpen. He'll vaporize the league

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.439
<v Speaker 7>in a jiffy. So I know, I want to know

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 7>what your thoughts are. What about Gavin Stone? Why is

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 7>he down four months and the only pitched one time

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.159
<v Speaker 7>is free training after being out of a year and

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 7>a half. What about the Dodge and medical store.

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 3>He's clearly hurt.

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not the medical staff. I appreciate the phone call, Ralphi.

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I let you say what you're going to say there.

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the phone call. Gavin Stone two years ago

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 2>was a guy who carried this Dodgers team. I mean,

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Stone was somebody who they relied upon every five

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.399
<v Speaker 2>days to go out there and throw and be the

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>guy that was twoenty twenty four, but then got hurt

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.560
<v Speaker 2>right before the playoff run. And remember twenty twenty four

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 2>is when they use the bullpen the most because of

0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the lack of starting pitching. Gavin Stone is still coming

0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.439
<v Speaker 2>back from his surgically repaired right shoulder, and he's not

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 2>anywhere close to being better and most likely not going

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of this twenty twenty six Dodgers team.

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Eric Lower could be a great piece to trade, no

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.399
<v Speaker 2>doubt about it. But the one thing I will agree

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>with you upon is Tyler Glass now in the back spasms,

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.880
<v Speaker 2>taking a lot longer than a lot of other backspasses

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.399
<v Speaker 2>to come back from. Blake Snell loves Snell Zilla. I

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 2>know him and Dave were close, but the reality is

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>he was hurt, came back one outing, got hurt again,

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 2>had the elbow surgery, and let's hope that clears it

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 2>all up. But he does have a history of injuries

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 2>the last few years. When he's healthy, there's no question

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell is really good, there's no argument there. But

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>when he's healthy, and he just hasn't been healthy in

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.280
<v Speaker 2>this year. He's made one start, So you've got to

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>rely upon Eric Lauer, and you've got to rely upon

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Justin Robleski. He who gets, by the way, rose to

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.080
<v Speaker 2>the occasion when asked upon this year to be part

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>of the starting rotation, so much so he's got double

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.480
<v Speaker 2>digits wins and now go into the All Star Game

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.440
<v Speaker 2>in Philadelphia on his birthday, by the way, on Tuesday.

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 2>That's that right there, as a guy taking the opportunity

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 2>like a Gavin Stone did two years ago, and even

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 2>more so for Robleski taking an opportunity and running with it. Now,

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:34.199
<v Speaker 2>when Blake Snell comes back, assume when he stays healthy,

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 2>that means somebody in the rotations the odd man out.

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Is it Lower Sasaki Imagean. If I had to make

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>the decision right now on July eleventh, my decision is

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.719
<v Speaker 2>either Sasaki or Imagean. Probably Imagean is the odd man

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 2>out of the rotation. When Blake Snell comes back healthy,

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.920
<v Speaker 2>well down the road, when Tyler glasnow is healthy, hopefully

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 2>hopefully again, this is the longest back spasms for a

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.919
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher to be out right now, and hopefully he

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 2>can get back to being healthy and where he was.

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's a little concerning when he's been out

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.159
<v Speaker 2>this long because of that. But okay, let's assume he

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 2>does come back and he's healthy. That's another spot in

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.679
<v Speaker 2>the rotation that he gets and somebody's out of a

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>job and has got to go back to the rotation

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 2>or become a closer at some you know part of

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the season. Is that Roki Sasaki or Eric Lower. Now,

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 2>if I had to make the decision right now, Lower Sasaki,

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with. Lower is gonna be in the rotation. Still,

0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the guy was really good last year for Toronto, did

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>not have a good start of the season, so much

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>of the Blue Jays lost faith in him and traded

0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 2>him to the Dodgers. He's now and now four quality

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>starts in a row, that six innings of work. He's

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 2>been the beneficiary of run support, no doubt about that.

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 2>But he's pitched really well. And in my mind, if

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna look at him or Sasaki, I gotta go

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.360
<v Speaker 2>with Eric Lawer. I feel a little bit more comfortable

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 2>out there right now, right here on July eleven, Now

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.360
<v Speaker 2>things could change. Get a little confidence going with him

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and she and rookiees Saki. Who knows what's gonna happen

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>in a few weeks. Again, Blake Snell's not anywhere close

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.120
<v Speaker 2>to coming back. It's four to five weeks. Tyler Glassnew

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 2>is even further behind him. So the Dodgers are gonna

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 2>need Sasaki and Shehan and lower even past the trade deadline.

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean the trade deadline's August third, is is Blake

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 2>Snell gonna be back before that?

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 3>That's that's what four weeks So that's kind of right.

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.200
<v Speaker 2>On that timeframe of how many starts he needs before

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 2>he can come back into this rotation. So there's still

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of moving parts. It's it's July eleventh. We

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 2>got one more game before the All Star break.

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 3>So much is gonna change.

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, let's not look at this team right now,

0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 2>in this rotation, right now and say this is it.

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Lock it in, this is the final answer, this is

0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the roster. They gotta submit pencils down. Test is over.

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, things are gonna change.

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey, guys are gonna get hurt somebody that we're not

0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 2>even thinking about.

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Something's gonna happen. It's baseball. It happens.

0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Who thought Will Smith would be out this long from

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>sleeping on his neck wrong in Arizona a month and

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:08.879
<v Speaker 2>a half ago.

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I sure heck didn't.

0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Things happen eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventy.

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.120
<v Speaker 2>The good thing is the Dodgers have been so good

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and are so deep. It's been next man up Dalton

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Russians did a nice job filling in for him. Tommy

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Edmonds come back from an injury and played really well.

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 3>They've been able to.

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Get guys off their feet and get days off for

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 2>a Kyler Tucker Kyle Tucker here or a Mookie Bets there.

0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 2>He had Tuesday off and got off his feet, a

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.679
<v Speaker 2>day off for Freddy Freeman. I mean, guys are getting

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 2>opportunities to get off their feet, and that is certainly

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 2>a good thing. Now, are you concerned about the last

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 2>couple of days? Five games in a row. The Dodgers

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 2>just haven't looked right. The last two in particular, have

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 2>really stuck out to me. I mean, last night's nine

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>runs given up by the Dodgers' bullpen was not normal.

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>It is not something we were accustomed to tonight, a five

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 2>run sixth inning given up by something we are certainly

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 2>not used to seeing, because it hasn't happened this year.

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 3>Six runs given up by Yama.

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:07.919
<v Speaker 2>He's only done that one other time in his career

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:11.239
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues, So we're not used to seeing that,

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 2>and I don't like seeing it.

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:13.919
<v Speaker 3>And I don't like what I've.

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Seen the last two nights from this Dodgers team on defense.

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully they can get right tomorrow and then you know, decompress,

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, get off their phones, and come back charge

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. After the All Star break, let's hear

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.679
<v Speaker 2>from the manager Dave Roberts after another disappointing nine to

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 2>two loss to the Arizona Dialbacks tonight, What did you.

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:35.639
<v Speaker 4>See in that sixth thady from yamamoil?

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:41.119
<v Speaker 8>Why things trying to go sideways on avenue, you know,

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 8>trying to recount that inning. Well, I think overall, you know,

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 8>he wasn't a sharp I think that you know, the

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 8>four walks or the three walks, and then the one

0:23:54.320 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 8>intentional walk. You know, the homer from mc can was.

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:03.840
<v Speaker 8>I mean it was a two seamer in off the

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 8>plate and got beat on it, but strong enough to

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 8>you know, get out of the ballpark. So very unique.

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 8>Obviously it changed his line score from a quality start

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:20.920
<v Speaker 8>to you know, not a great start. But I think that, yeah,

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 8>there were some walks in there. There was you know,

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 8>the bounding ball, there was some first or third situations,

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 8>the bounding ball, and then the gone first base with

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 8>two outs, the ball gets stuck in stuck in the

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:36.520
<v Speaker 8>left field corner. He scores from first, which is very

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:42.240
<v Speaker 8>rare and unique happens. Still had a really really, really

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 8>good first half. I think just overall it was just

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, it's obviously with the hitting, when you

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 8>don't hit. It seems like it's lackluster, no energy, but

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 8>it was. It was a clunker. You know, I think

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 8>that we just haven't played, you know, the last three

0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 8>out of five something like that games. It just hasn't

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 8>been clean baseball, all right.

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 3>There's a manager. He said it himself.

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 2>It was a clunker tonight, and they just haven't playing

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the same baseball the last four or five games.

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:12.120
<v Speaker 3>He's right.

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>We talked about it last night. We echoed it again tonight.

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 2>David Vasey's asked Teoscar Hernandezad. He just asked Dave Roberts

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that in his press conference. Yeah, this is just a

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.640
<v Speaker 2>different looking Dodgers team, and you can call it All

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Star itis. I don't know what it is, but they

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 2>look different on defense. They don't have that same energy

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 2>all the way around. And you know what, when you

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 2>got as big as lee as they have, you can

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 2>get away with it for a few games. You certainly

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 2>don't want it to continue. And you'd like to go

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 2>into the All Star Break on a winning note. And

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 2>again I mentioned it earlier for Immachian. You'd like to

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:47.919
<v Speaker 2>certainly go in with some positive results and some zeros

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 2>on the scoreboard going into your final start and then

0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the All Star break for the second half of the season.

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Isabelle in Anaheim.

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Isabelle, I read your text last night about the dot

0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>When did the Dodgers turn into the Giants? I was

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>very popular. Dodger fans thought that was very funny and

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it was great to see you yesterday. I had a

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 2>brewery in Anaheim.

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:09.440
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it was nice seeing you too. I am frustraded

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 9>with this team.

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:14.439
<v Speaker 10>I know it's too lust it's it's ridiculous to no reason.

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:17.439
<v Speaker 10>They used to be losing to your Arizona. I don't

0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:21.119
<v Speaker 10>care you didn't be losing to your Arizona.

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 9>I am very trashing they do with the team. This

0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.360
<v Speaker 9>is no excuse him Stali.

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Did you think they got All Star ititis? Isabelle? Did

0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 3>they they got All Star ritis?

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:35.679
<v Speaker 9>I don't know, but somebody guys can need the Dodger

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 9>lost room with the Dodger phone and I got to

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 9>the team my wedding. We live being to Dave right now.

<v Speaker 2>congratulations on their son Trey getting drafted today number twenty

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 2>five overall by the Milwaukee Brewers, one year after his

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 2>son Brady was drafted in the first round by the

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee Brewers. So how about that his two sons drafted

0:27:57.080 --> 0:27:59.239
<v Speaker 2>him back to back years in the first round by

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the Milwaukee Brewers. I know that is certainly something that

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 2>is very exciting for he and his wife. So congratulations

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 2>to Dino Ebel and his entire family on having his

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 2>son Trey drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers.

0:28:11.040 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 3>And there's a video out on social media. I retweeted it.

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:15.199
<v Speaker 2>It's out there, you can see it from the Brewers

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 2>that the moment that Trey got drafted, Brady was playing

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 2>catch with his minor league team that he's currently playing

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 2>with and couldn't have been more happy for his brother

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 2>and facetimed him and very emotional. Very cool to see

0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 2>that with the Evil brothers now playing for the same

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:32.440
<v Speaker 2>team the Milwaukee Brewers drafted in back to back a year.

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:33.880
<v Speaker 3>So that is very exciting, by.

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:35.399
<v Speaker 2>The way, as cool as today was, and it was

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 2>for so many young men who were selected in the

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:42.479
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball Draft. From Rock Schlowski from UCLA drafted

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.440
<v Speaker 2>number one by the Chicago White Sox. UCLA had four

0:28:45.560 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 2>players taken in the first four rounds.

0:28:48.120 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that is so great to see a.

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Lot of young kids have their dreams fulfilled getting drafted

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 2>local kids, high school players, college players, all seeing that

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 2>happen in their names called by professional baseball team.

0:29:01.920 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 3>I can't imagine what it's like.

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 2>It is a dream come true, no doubt for all

0:29:05.360 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 2>these young men, but for the Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred,

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>to be on the podium in Philadelphia and to announce

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the Chicago White Sox first pick in the draft, number

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 2>one overall and mispronounces Rockchilowski's name, calls him Rock Chialuski.

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 3>How is this possible? It's not like it was the surprise.

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 2>It's not like it's the fourth round and it's some

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 2>young man who you've never heard of, who's got a

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 2>long last name. That's very confusing, and you didn't practice it,

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 2>nor do you have the fonetic spelling of it. This

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:41.200
<v Speaker 2>guy's been talked about for a year. Since last year's draft.

0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 2>He has been the projected number one overall pick out

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of UCLA. Had a great season for John Savage at UCLA.

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Has been talked about since December when the White Sox

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>got the number one pick in the draft lottery, that

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 2>he was going to go to the White Sox.

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.920
<v Speaker 3>How do you mispronounce this guy's name. It's embarrassing.

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Imagine the commissioner of base doing this, and then the

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 2>other commissioners around football and basketball mispronouncing the number one

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 2>overall picking their respective sports guarantee, that's not happening. Somehow,

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Rob Manford messed it up. Thankfully, a lot of people

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't hear it in the Chilowski family as they were

0:30:16.400 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 2>too busy celebrating and very emotional and crying there in Chandler,

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Arizona as they celebrated rock on number one overall to

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the Chicago White Sox.

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:25.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, that's gonna do it for Dodge Talk tonight.

0:30:25.520 --> 0:30:27.560
